A 10 foot ladder is leaning against a house. The base of the ladder is 4 feet from the house. How far does the ladder reach up the house?

9.17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythogoras theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2

you are give c and b ( because one side is slanted, so c) so rearrange to get

c^2-b^2 = a^2

10^2 - 4^2 = 84

square root 84 to get

9.16515

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.

−3x
